Husband asked me to leave

[mrsjimhopper]

Very sad right now packing a few bits into a carriers.

It's his house so I can't stay. He's holding that over me and He's being really mean. I'm pretty upset. Been a long time coming. I've asked him to be kinder to me as I'm doing what he wants me to do which is leave.

I know I'd deserve better but I don't want to be alone. No children involved - we couldn't have them.

He doesn't know whether he wants to talk to me or not. So I'm Just sat waiting in another room.

Just want a handhold please. I don't knew how I will survive this week.

He says he won't go to court because he thinks he can bully you into accepting you aren't owed anything.

If you decide its in your interests to go to court (and it very much is) , he doesn't get a choice.

Time and again he is presenting his position as if its the only course of action available. And your inital response seems to indicate you defer to him too much and believe him when he says these things which aren't true.

You really really need to make sure you follow through on that legal advice for that reason too. He isn't telling the truth.

For very short marriages with no children each tends to walk away with what they put in. Judges rule that as fairest.

See a solicitor OP. I saw one with half hour free and paid the remaining half hour. Was so so worth it. It meant I could work out at least where I stood financially.
Then you can start to make plans. He clearly doesn't like you enough to treat you nicely. Make that his problem not yours. Good luck.

OP has paid for improvements to his house which have increased the value of his asset - will she not be entitled to recompense for that?

(Genuine question - I know nothing about this stuff)

it depends, no one can answer that, that is up to a judge, but it will come down to how much she spent and what value she added, if she spent 50 grand and increased it by 100 a judge will likely order a sale so she can get her money and the added value back

if she paid for Some decorating and some new carpet. Then likely not. But again depends on the judge.
